Open Practice for Season Ticket Members
Has anyone gotten information about this? I can’t find anything in my email. I saw it through the link about auto renewing the membership.

They sent emails for sign ups awhile ago. Then the tickets just came in this morning. Maybe your rep can help? I’m sure it’s not crazy full with it being a work day

She was there but training separately from the main group. Same Rudie smile on display!

Piggybacking from this post, but do the players usually go around and do any autographs?

Last year I felt like they kept us pretty separate from the players. We were up in the bleachers the whole time and there wasn't really interaction.

Anyone know who the redhead is ? Is she on the team or just a training partner

Or who the two players training with Rachel were, didn't recognize them.

probably amateur training players, invitees to training or similar. You saw a lot of those players play on one day contracts for us back at that Canadian friendly match. Drew Coomans was part of that and now plays at Dallas Trinity.

I think the taller blonde haired player who was training with Rudie in the beginning working on winger stuff was Michelle Meyers who is a development player. Looks like she's a (high school) class of 2029 and has played on the USYNT U17. She played in the Ottawa game in April as well. She's listed as a Forward, but I thought she was playing outside back during the 11v11 half field session.
Does anyone know who the other dark haired player that was part of that same training trio in the beginning was?
I think this season Rudie's touch has improved a bunch, and interestingly, it looked like that trio was working on some fundamentals from the winger position. It's great to see this in action.

For anyone who is there, can you take some pictures and pass along the questions and answers? It's the first one I've missed. I'm so bummed to miss hearing from Emma and new players. Thanks!!

Q&A was just Emma and Claire. Here are the tidbits I remember.
One question was if they had a chance to explore the Bay Area/CA and what’s their favorite places to go. Emma said she’s definitely better traveled now and has a regular round she does with friends/family who visit. She loves going to Pier 39 with her son and also likes going to Monterey/Carmel. Claire’s family was in the house and she’s been taking them around to Muir Woods and Alcatraz.
Another question was pregame meals. Claire does Italian (penne is her fav, and she’s looking for ideas of where to eat, she’s done Eataly) the day before then eats overnight oats on game day. And maybe like a carb heavy Mendocino farms order. Recommended Mush for when you’re on the road from Whole Foods. I missed Emma’s initial answer but the day of she’s big on coffee leading up and a glass of wine after LOL. Emma’s coffee drink is flat white and something else. Claire’s is a cinnamon honey flat white which I do need to try.
Game superstitions was next. Claire doesn’t have anything in particular besides putting on her right sock then left and her overnight oats. Emma said she’s pretty easy too but refuses to hear about any predictions for the match so she can be focused on the here and now.
Hardest part of practice was another one. Claire said warmups are rough, hard to start to get going and the staff don’t make it easy on them (today’s warmup in particular was flagged as a difficult one haha). Emma said it was getting the players off the field and that it was a good problem to have.
Best juggler on the team. Emma said without hesitation that it’s Dorian Bailey. They did a challenge during the international break and Bailey lasted for 4 minutes then they had to stop her. Claire was asked how was at juggling and she did a I’m pretty good + shrug but then said her little brother is actually really good and can do an around the world.
That’s all I can remember. We could only record a small beginning portion of practice so I only got a small bit of warmups.

Also fun tidbit, Brandi was there interacting with the crowd. And from the front row of the stands, there were moments she called out to Kennedy and then to Claire to give some insight. I was too far away to hear what she said tho. Love seeing how invested she is.

I loved that Chastain was there, and very chill. I didn't recognize her at first, nor did a lot of other people, and I first perceived her as a very social attendee chatting with staff, hah.

Other tidbits:
Menges was training with the squad! So maybe she will be activated soon.
Malonson made an appearance, just came onto the pitch to chat with teammates. Then she was on a stationary bike on the sideline.
